Gouchie receives additional game

Published on October 2, 2007 under Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) News Release


BOUCHERVILLE, Tuesday, October 2, 2007 - The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League's disciplinary committee today imposed an additional one-game suspension to Cape Breton Screaming Eagles winger Jérémy Gouchie.

The suspension follows an incident that occurred during last Saturday's game against the Fog Devils in St. John's in which Gouchie was caught body-checking an opposing player from behind. The gesture translates into an automatic one-game suspension. Therefore, Gouchie will miss his team's next two contests.

The decision was rendered after reviewing the videotape of the incident and consulting all concerned parties. The suspension is in effect as of today.

In accordance with the QMJHL policy in the matter of disciplinary sanctions, the disciplinary committee will not be available for further comment.
